“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” said in 1977 by Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation So what does that quote have to do with a sardine salad. It has to do with the fact that I hesitated to post this recipe because I’m not sure the world…

“If you’re going to be anything, be genuine.” In a few weeks I’m taking off for a weekend away to the big city where there are museums and art galleries and an opportunity to spend days walking around. I love walking around and discovering surprises. That’s my description of getting lost. I can get a…

“if at first you don’t succeed, don’t try skydiving.” I thought it might be time for an update about my attempt to eat healthier and simpler. Here goes. A few days ago I posted about meal planning, whining that I’m sick of cooking. I’ve been cooking for over 50 years. Also, I was aware that…

“Our life is what our thoughts make it.” Marcus Aurelius Had to have another quote from Marcus. He’s a wise one. So, back to the kitchen. Here’s what happened to the remaining mushroom paste that I so cleverly created out of shiitake mushroom stems. It’s a tasty mushroom dressing with an emphasis on sesame oil…

“Health is not about the weight you lose, but about the life you gain.” Attempting to put together some wildly nutritious meals, I looked up what science considers some of the most nutritious foods. Another genius move. My plan was to incorporate these foods into my eating plan and become super healthy and popular and…

“Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be revelation.” Lately I’ve been struggling with my hair. Some people tell my my new style is cute (generally young people with a lot of face piercings) but I continue to seek a style that will allow me to look like someone else. Good luck…

“Nasty chickens lay deviled eggs.” There are a number of recipes for chicken in milk, most off-shots, I’m guessing, from Jamie Oliver’s recipe that appeared in his cookbook, “The Naked Chef”. I think. At any rate, this recipe has gotten rave reviews from people looking for a fast, easy, and delicious chicken recipe, except for…

“Of course it is a fact, but what do facts matter?” Hazart Inayat Khan Found another sauce recipe! Is life good, or what! This sauce has its origin in Catalonia where fishermen serve it on fish. Actually, it’s probably their wives that serve it on fish but I’m too tired today to get into that…
